Dengue rising in urban Madurai
By V Mayilvaganan, TNN | Dec 3, 2012, 05.12 AM IST

MADURAI: Even as rural Madurai is breathing a sigh of relief due to decline in the number of dengue cases, there has been an increase of dengue incidence in the urban limits indicating the spread of the disease to the city.

Over the past week, there were 20 dengue positive cases reported from the city everyday, at a time when dengue appears to subside in Melur that had emerged as the hotbed of the disease. The increasing positive cases from the corporation have become a cause of concern for the health officials.

On Sunday, the total number of dengue positive patients, who are being treated at the Government Rajaji Hospital (GRH), Madurai was 72. While 15 of them are from districts like Sivaganga and Virudhunagar, 27 patients are from the corporation limits, especially from the newly-annexed wards. From Melur alone, 30 dengue patients had come, but this number was far less compared to the past when much more men report with dengue from the rural area.

Spread of Dengue
The details of State-wise figures of reported cases and deaths due to dengue in the country from 2009 onwards are Annexured. (see post #263 above - Ro)

The reported number of dengue cases in 2012 (till 26th November, 2012), as compared to 2011 have been more in the following 24 States/UTs namely Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Goa, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Mizoram, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, A&N Island, Chandigarh, Delhi, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu and Puducherry. However the reported number of deaths in 2012 as compared to the previous year has been higher in 12 states namely Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, J&K, Karnataka, Kerela, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal & D&N Haveli.

The percentage increase (aggregate) in number of cases and deaths between 2011 and 2012 (upto 26-11-2012) is approximately 97% and 34% respectively.

There is no single reason attributable to increase of dengue cases. Dengue is an outbreak prone disease governed by various man-made and environmental factors as under:

(i) unprecedented human population growth;

(ii) unplanned and rapid urbanization;

(iii) Inadequate waste management;

(iv) water supply mismanagement including water scarcity/interrupted supply;

(v) increased distribution and densities of vector mosquitoes due to man-made, ecological and lifestyle changes;

(vi) Gaps in public health infrastructure,

(vii) increase mobility of population

(viii) Poor infrastructure in the States to monitor vector mosquito breeding.

Government of India has taken the following steps for prevention and control of Dengue in the country:

1. Technical Assistance:

a) A Long Term Action Plan was formulated and circulated to the State/UTs for implementation in January, 2007.

At the state level too, over 100 deaths and 2,000 cases have been reported, both much higher than incidences in the last five years.

The civic body on Thursday insisted that Tariq Jafari was the fourth in the city to succumb to the sting of the aedes aegypti mosquito. It is yet to add the name of filmmaker Yash Chopra to the list of dengue fatalities. So far, 907 dengue cases have been reported in the city, of which 237 and 166 were reported in October and November, respectively.

While Jafari died at the Kokilaben Ambani hospital on Wednesday night, his four-year-old daughter Tasneem, admitted in the same hospital, remains critical. His wife Shakila, too, has tested positive for dengue. She took discharge against medical advice after hearing about Jafari's death.
